Default Message Center Differences?

Can anyone confirm if there are any differences in the information available in the "message center" on the IUP equipped cars and non-IUP cars? For example, I've heard that the IUP model has a "message center" that tells you your average miles per gallon, number of miles to empty, etc. Do the non-IUP cars have that info available too? Thanks.

I can tell you that I do not have that info available on my GT. I only have the odometer to look at. But, that said, I am plenty pleased with everything else.

I've got the IUP upgrade and indeed it does provide all of that information and more.

Odometer
Miles Per Gallon
How many miles left to Empty
Average speed
A meter showing whether your being fuel efficient or not
Trip odometer
(may be some I'm forgetting)

Then there's the MyColor info as well

Yeah, your missing gallons used and it has a elasped timer your can turn on, if you want to time a drive!

I keep setting the timer, then I forget to check it when I get there. [:@]

I keep hitting reset on the MPG display, numbers can be pretty impressive.

I have checked the "Gallons Used" just before a fill up, sucker comes really close!

Thanks Dave, getting old sucks and trying to remember things gets harder and harder.

If you do not get the IUP than you can not get the message center.
